Joshua tree on hand marbled Arches 88 paper. This is another artist trading card (2 1/2” x 3 1/2”), done on a recycled end cut from a larger sheet. I marbled it using the Japanese suminagashi technique. My pieces were more centered on landscape originally.  Ren Adams, 2012.  Zoom

“Three Primordial Energies,” 2012. Large scroll triptych combining printmaking techniques (monotype, serigraphy, image transfer and relief) with direct ink painting. On Okawara paper. Each panel measures about 4 - 5 feet in length.  Part of my Archaeology of Being Exhibition. The shapes are abstracted elements from important sites of human cultural and social innovation, combined with the symbols of the Taoist immortals, the Three Primordial Energies, from which all non-matter is sorted into defined matter.  Zoom

This book binding is a “lay flat” style, with interwoven leaves. The cover is made by wrapping Davey board with one of my lithographic proofs.  Kongming plays the Qin.  Ren Adams Zoom

I did a small mock-up of the larger fold-out book We are the Supernova, just to experiment with logistics and texture. Book is done with BFK Rives cotton paper, direct ink painting and watercolor monotype to add the colored texture.  Ren Adams, 2012 Zoom
